Cider is a perishable product and we do not add any preservatives that will keep the flavor as intended until the end of time. Refrigeration will help increase the longevity of quality and flavor if you plan on saving this treat.

While ideally, our cider would be kept cool in stores, we understand that refrigerated storage space is limited at many retailers. Therefore, we have taken many steps to ensure that our product can withstand the conditions it may encounter in the field. Under proper storage conditions our products can remain tasty and drinkable for up to three – six months, and beyond!

Our ciders are naturally gluten free. However, some of our cider varieties are barrel aged and those barrels have been in contact with beer previously, so depending on your sensitivity, we suggest avoiding any of our barrel aged ciders (Aurora Borealis, Moonage Daydream, Jasper’s Astro, and White Skies).

The rest of the ciders should be safe, however if you are consuming them at an establishment outside Short’s pub in Bellaire you may want to inquire about their draft lines. These are typically cleaned between changing taps over but if you’re extremely sensitive to gluten you may just want to make sure they have done this.

All of our ciders currently available in bottles (Pulsar, Octorock, and Squishy) are naturally gluten free, so feel free to enjoy!
